The 30-mile road that runs through the mountains of Willie Valley makes most drivers′ hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn’t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year’s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine. But the higher they drove, the more slippery the road became. Rounding a sharp U-turn, Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes. In a minute, the car was going at 25 miles per hour down the mountain before falling down from a ten-foot dam into the extremely cold Logan River.
The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the car was filled with water. “It was frightening that we were going fast into deep water,” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken manager.
Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn’t find her. “I thought, if I don’t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That’s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they rushed down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?”
Andersen says respectfully, “It was like the sight of angels.”

(答案→)C 解析:文章大意:新年前夜安德森开车带着三个孩子去滑雪之旅途中,在危险地段,由于紧急刹车,车子跌入河中。安德森忙于救三个孩子,结果三个孩子已经被一群人救上岸。【小题1】C 细节题。根据第二段第二句Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes.说明引起汽车事故的主要原因是安德森的紧急刹车,看到重型卡车是事故发生的原因之一,但非主要原因。故C正确。【小题2】A 推理题。根据文章第一段最后一句Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.在过去的许多年安德森已经开车穿过峡谷成千上百次,可以推测出安德森对那里的道路很熟悉,故A正确。【小题3】D 推理题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?”可以知道三个孩子已经被一群陌生人安全救上岸了。故D正确。【小题4】C 推理题。the sight of angel指“天使之眼”,可以推测安德森还不敢相信三个孩子已经被救上岸,因此是怀疑的,故B正确。【小题5】A主旨大意题。本文主要描述安德森在危及关头忙于救孩子,但没有注意到孩子已经被一群陌生人安全救上岸。说明在危及关头应当保持镇定,故A正确。
